Retired diplomat Maris Sangiampongsa has been endorsed as Thailand's new foreign minister by the country's king, the official Royal Gazette said on Wednesday.

Maris, 65, is a former Thai ambassador to Australia and Canada and was an adviser to predecessor Parnpree Bahiddha-Nukara, who unexpectedly resigned on Sunday after he lost his deputy prime minister position in a cabinet reshuffle.
